Most automotive development is done in secret, and for a good reason.

Before a shiny, new car hits dealer showrooms, the floor of an auto show, or is showcased on a livestreamed reveal event online, years of research, development, and engineering go into perfecting these new vehicles before the general public gets to see them. However, while much of the development of new models involves using advanced software and computers, real-world results and data that engineers can scrutinize and fine-tune can only be recorded by taking a prototype model out on actual roads and racetracks where it'd be used.
